Terminology of Emulator and Simulator;
The Emulator described in this reference manual is a software that can provide performances
immense in similarity to those performed on the actual device by imitating individual hardware
components or protocol which can control the components by side.
On the other hand, the Simulator is also software but logically integrates application programming
interfaces ("API") and minimum functions to debug the application program. From the view of
application side, the Emulator performs in the pseudo CPU and hardware environment –
impossible for the application to recognize whether it is in actual environment or pseudo
environment. However, performances carried out by the Simulator are not likely to those
performed by actual components.
